If you're going to read books on racism on how to be less racist, please read books written by people actually experiencing racism. Don't read the books that will help you feel good, or reaffirm something you already know. Read to learn. Be comfortable being uncomfortable because there is nothing comfortable about racism. If you're reading to feel good, then you're not ready for this journey. Antiracism is uncomfortable when put into practice, but you absolutely cannot put it into practice if you're not educated.

People desiring to be less racist must educate themselves and interact with people to ensure they are making a difference in the lives of others while dismantling racist systems of oppression. You can't dismantle the system if you do not understand the system.
